I JUST RUINED MY DIET IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD

Di3012

Good point, 1300 a day? that seems awfully low....

Why is it?

See 1300 calories per day is perfectly fine, providing the person does not eat rubbish. All the calories consumed need to be good food, otherwise it is empty calories doing much of nothing for the person, except help them put on weight.

I am on 1200 calories per day and have been since 1st January, but I cannot afford to waste any of the calories on crap.

Don't get me started on muffins, if I started eating those, I wouldn't stop LOL

I haven't read the replies but has anyone said troll yet? lol

Hi There, no worries, just cut back a couple snacks over the next few days. I think of my calories in three day chunks, and this gives me some wiggle room. Great that you are aware of the calories and are making a plan.

Well, that was a given from the very beginning.

450 calories? Not bad for a muffin, actually.

Just watch out for the 1000 calorie muffins though....

I had Wendy's today. The end.

tinkermommc

you're probably right. Just so to McDonalds for dinner, It'll make you feel better. That or a quart of Chocolate ice cream!

OMG...did you see the profile??? She wants to lose 1.4 lbs...not even 2 lbs. If I only wanted to lose 1.4 lbs I would have muffin parties!

So my mom was kind enough to buy me a banana muffin this morning, which I didn't think was unhealthy (so much).
Turns out... it had... 430 CALORIES
What do I do?!
I only eat 1300 calories a day and now i've already passed that amount!!

No biggie. The world isn't ending, you won't gain weight, and everything will be fine. So you go over today. So what?

But in the future, there was a clue there that that muffin would be high in calories...it's that little word "muffin."

mgraue82

you can eat a muffin straight after exercise,it wont turn into fat,fact

FACT: Bears eat beets... Bears... Beets... Battle Star Galactica....

mgraue82

For reals though - just work out tonight and get your calorie burn on! You will feel so good when you're done - just be glad it was a lil ole muffin, and not a chinese buffet or something along those lines. You can do it

I had three servings of nachos and I am totally fine with it. wish I had a muffin, or a brownie.

Tomorrow is another day. I had a rough week myself. weigh in's gonna be interesting.

Clarimusic00

I feel you! I ate a small piece of pie to splurge at work. I probably would have thought twice if I knew it was 350 calories. I just ate less for for dinner and worked out. It all worked out in the end.

430 calories....LOL I just at three whoppers for over 1100 calories... had a really stressful day!

Going exercise my *kitten* off tomorrow to make up for it!

Tomorrow is a new day - just don't do it all the time - that is my philosphy!

steflbrown

I had one of these days today... it's not the end of the world. Just back on the horse tomorrow and maybe a little more exercise to counter for it. I have to have a day like that occasionally where I might indulge in some favorites or I would go totally crazy.

Get on your walkiing shoes. I carry a camera with me and use my camera to entertain my self on my walks.

Exercise is great then you earn more calories. If you can't do that eat healthy the rest of the day and remember tomorrow is another day. One day will not mess you up the repetition of making food errors day after day will. Forget about it and more on. Don't beat yourself up about it!

You would think, but there are serious replies. lol

And the last laugh's on the troll, since there are serious replies that will no doubt be of help to someone who's really struggling with the stinking thinking that accompanies "slips".

I've been participating in internet discussions since the early Usenet days (more than a decade before the OP's birth, assuming he/she is really 19), and I still don't understand the pathology that motivates trolls.

1 pound = 3500 calories. So, one day with an extra 430 calories isn't going to harm your weight loss goals. Just get back on track tomorrow.

Is this right?
How come I can not go over my calories for months and still go up 5 POUNDS THIS WEEK?
Yes I am going mad at myself and yes I have had a depressed day today as a result. :mad:

There could be a bunch of reasons including, water weight, you are at the wrong calorie intake, metabolism changes.

Here's a short article that explains weight fluctuations ... "Weight fluctuations can result in a temporary weight increase of up to 5 pounds a day."

Weight fluctuates naturally due to water/fluid retention, stress, hormone changes (TOM for women), etc. 5 pounds on the scale does not mean 5 pounds of fat.

Try not to be depressed over it. If you feel you need to, check your goals to make sure you're at the proper daily calorie amount for proper healthy weight loss. Not too small or too large of a calorie deficient. Make adjustments if you need to.

Otherwise, just go back to following your goals, and that "extra" 5 pounds will disappear again.

I hear the world is ending so calories no longer matter.

PrincessNariko

No biggie you won't gain weight eating a few more calories once in a while. I eat pizza, candy and chocolate once a week and my weight is stable.

Just eat right the rest of the week and you'll be fine

rockerbabyy

i ate a 760 calorie muffin for breakfast today. at least i think it was that much, just guesstimation since its not in the database and i dont have nutrition info available.
but i loved it and with my exercise today itll fit in nicely.. in fact, with my second workout i might even have some chips or a donut
